There is no denying the diesel performance hobby is expensive. The engines, injection systems, turbochargers, and transmissions our trucks come with are pricey investments. But, if you know how to wrench, you can save yourself a load of money. Luckily, for Tim Hilgendorf, he comes from a farming family, earned a degree in diesel technology, and has always had a knack for fixing his own vehicles and equipment.

Fresh Build Immediately Makes The “Quickest Duramax” ListWyatt Stengel’s LB7-powered ’70 K15 build has been a work in progress for more than three years—but in late January it all started to pay off. After making 888 hp and 1,353 lb-ft on the dyno, Wyatt and his team unstrapped the truck and headed straight to the eighth-mile at Clearwater, Florida’s Showtime Dragstrip. While there, the truck ran consistently in the 6.5 to 6.9-second range before clicking off a 6.37 at 116 mph.

Don’t Get Locked Out!PSA: 2021 and older fifth-gen Ram owners, don’t let your dealer reflash your truck! Tuned fifth-gen trucks receiving factory ECM updates have reported being locked out, with no way back in. Unfortunately, this likely means that having the CP4.2 to CP3 high-pressure fuel pump recall performed on a ’19-’21 truck will mean it gets treated to the reflash. This comes on the heels of the EPA pushing OEM’s to lock down their ECM’s in order to keep aftermarket calibrators out.

World’s First Full-Manual Valvebody, Four-Speed 68RFEYou read that right, WP Developments has created the world’s first full-manual valvebody 68RFE. The quick-shifting four-speed does away with the use of the 68RFE’s first gear (where sprag failure is highly common) and fifth gear (where 4C clutch failure is frequent). Lockup is available on command via button as is Overdrive, and the valvebody is SSV-less—meaning no more bore/end plugs leaking.
